Seeking Justice, Compensation And Closure For Wrongful Death Accidents

The pain of losing a loved one in a fatal accident is indescribable. There is nothing that can bring them back, but you can use legal action to hold the perpetrator of the accident accountable for their negligence and to recover compensation.

If you need experienced, assertive and caring counsel for a wrongful death claim, Rosenberg McKay Hoffman can assist you. Since 1995, we have fought for the rights of injury victims in Hawaii and the surviving loved ones of people lost in fatal accidents. Together, our team has more than 100 years of experience.

What To Know About Wrongful Death Claims

The purpose of filing a wrongful death claim is to recover compensation for the damages resulting from a relative or loved one’s death. For example, funeral costs, loss of income, and pain and suffering. These claims can also help survivors find a sense of closure and peace of mind knowing that they have held the negligent party accountable.

Only a few people can pursue a wrongful death suit:

  • The decedent’s spouse
  • The decedent’s child
  • The decedent’s other financial dependents
  • The decedent’s parents

For a successful claim, the petitioner must prove that another party or person’s negligence resulted in the victim’s death. If you believe that you have grounds for a claim, our wrongful death and personal injury attorneys can sit down and review it with you.

Don’t Miss The Statute Of Limitations

There is a strict deadline for wrongful death claims in Hawaii. If you do not file your lawsuit within two years from the date of death, you lose the right to recover compensation. Our team will help you meet the important dates, but you must speak with us as soon as possible so we can work quickly.
